Sample of writing:
Of all the films I have seen, I like the film “Life made simple” best. It is a love story film. It is about the life of a man with the mind of a child. The film is made in Singapore. The main character is Dinh Thuong Vuong. I find the film very funny, moving and espescially it is full of meaningfulness .
